Ready to Decorate

I'm so excited that we are going to have a boy.  I've been daydreaming of action figures, dinosaurs, and all kinds of boy things.  All of Mia's stuff has been moved out of her old room.  She has taken up permanent residence in her "big girl" room.  She absolutely loves it.  I still need to buy new curtains for her room, so I'll post pictures after those are put up.  Looking around the empty nursery is weird (because I'm used to her things being there), but it's also exciting.  I just think of all of the possibilities for decorating the nursery to make it look totally different for Quinn.  I think we've settled on a theme, so I've been trying to look up coordinating artwork and such.  I shouted to the hills that we were most definitely not painting the room a different color, and I've stuck to that.  Partly because I like the color; partly because I refuse to inhale paint fumes while pregnant and did not want to demand that my sweet husband paint it by himself.  He would totally do it.  I'm so lucky to have a husband that would do pretty much anything I ask of him.  It did make choosing Quinn's bedding a little more challenging, but I'm more than happy with the result.  I've bought some clothes for Q, and now I'm ready to start getting his room decorated.

Last night right before bed, Mia said that she wanted to give Quinn a kiss.  She pulled up my shirt, kissed my belly, and said, "There ya go, Quinnie."  She spoke directly into my belly button.  I guess that's the only way he'll hear her.  Haha!  Then, she blew a raspberry on my belly button.  It made me laugh out loud.  She's so funny.  She patted my stomach twice, and then ran off.  That girl cracks me up.  I'm so glad that she's now excited about getting a baby brother.
